There were four old men sitting in a water pavilion not far from the flower boat, and the one who looked the youngest said softly: "The second brother's vision is the most poisonous, and he chose such a good daughter-in-law." ”

An old man dressed as a scribe next to him smiled and said, "Don't forget that the second brother was born in the Ma Kuai class, and I think there were a few people on the road back then who didn't swear by the second brother's gambling curse." ”

Speaking of the past, the four old men couldn't help but smile knowingly. The eldest old man looked much older than the other three, and he turned the wine glass in his hand and said, "Didn't you make fun of your second brother again?" ”

The scribe laughed, "I don't dare, what I said is not true." ”

The eldest "second brother" smiled silently, turned his head and asked the old man who didn't speak: "Third brother, why didn't Bodang come over." ”

The old man, who was called the "third brother", had a dark look in his eyes and said, "He is a member of the Qinghe Wang family, and he has been getting farther and farther away from us recently. This time, he didn't say that he would come, and he would not come. I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd. ”

The youngest old man said: "Third Brother Xie, you helped the second brother find such a good daughter-in-law, do you also help our little cubs find it." ”

"Third brother" said with a smile: "With your name Lao Cheng, do you want me to help you?" Grab it back if you look at it. ”

The old man dressed as a scribe laughed in a low voice: "If he dares, he won't be broken by Pei Niangzi when he goes back?!" ”

The "third brother" pretended to be abrupt and said, "That's right." ”

The three of them chuckled again, and it seemed that the youngest old man, who was called "Lao Cheng", was a person who was afraid of guilt.

As he was talking, someone outside came to report: "The two princes have arrived." ”

The "third brother" said: "Hurry up, please." ”

After a while, two old men, one with long hair and the other with a short beard, walked in from outside the door. Everyone got up and greeted: "Jun Ke" and "Bodang". The two also replied one after another: "Second Brother", "Military Division", "Xie Zi", "Lao Cheng"

One of them, the short-bearded old man, exchanged glances with the scribe as soon as he entered the door. After everyone greeted each other, there was a lot of talk, most of which were the eventful years of the past.

The two sat down for about half an hour, then got up and said, "Second brother, there is still something at home, let's leave first." ”

The youngest old man raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, but the "second brother" stood up at this time and said: "Since this is the case, I will not force the two virtuous brothers, and if I have leisure in the future, I will come to the capital to see our old brothers." ”

The two of them left in a hurry after answering each other, and the youngest old man glanced at the "second brother", and then fell silent after a hey.

The "third brother" looked outside at this time and said, "It's almost, we should also go to Wenfu and settle the matter." ”

With his words, all the old men got up and walked out.

At the same time, the talent competition of the girls in the Xie family Zhuangzi has reached the most fierce juncture, and the Yew sisters and the Wen sisters are faintly divided into two different camps, and it is already the last dance at this time.

The front of the flower arrangement, poetry, writing, painting, piano art, female red, cooking have been decided, the Yuan Niang of the Wen family won the first place in the flower arrangement, their camp is currently in the flower arrangement, female red, cooking, piano art four leading, yew girl which side because of the loss of the bag of piano art, now temporarily behind. Among the girls on the field, the Yew girl's side has missed two in a row because of nervousness, and the girl with the highest rating is the girl from the camp to which the Wen family belongs.

Just now, Zhang Wenyi didn't care which girl on her side played, and no matter how she won or lost, as long as she got off the field, she would run over and raise her palms to celebrate, and as a result, their morale on their side soared. On their side, a girl with extraordinary piano skills played an extraordinary role and won the first place, and this unexpected result made the already clear competition become chaotic.

The older yew girl quickly spotted the problem, and she immediately followed suit, stretching out her hands to motivate her peers. As a result, the high-spirited opponent did not win in the next round, and now she is the last dancer to take the stage. If her evaluation is not as good as that of her opponent, then this side is in a big losing situation.

The Yew Girl's performance of "Cloud Gate" is an ancient dance that is said to have been popular among the nobles of the Zhou Dynasty, reflecting the artistic conception of fairies flying in the clouds.

It is extremely difficult for a mortal to dance to embody a fairy flying in the clouds, and the performance of the Yew Girl is mesmerizing.

At the end of the song, everyone couldn't reminisce for a long time. Zhang Wenyi was the first to wake up, and she naturally paid tribute to the yew girl with modern applause. Under her guidance, people also applauded, and the applause was thunderous for a while.

The yew girl slowly walked over to the Wen sisters, and when she got closer, she took Zhang Wenyi's little hand, walked in front of Yuan Niang, and said, "Xiao Ying, if the girl has the opportunity to come to the capital, she must come to the Song State Mansion for a while." ”

"Wen Yuanniang. Thank you Miss Xiao for the invitation, if you have the opportunity, you will definitely come to visit. Yuan Niang replied calmly.

Two of the best girls of the day's party greeted each other. The two of them were radiant, which made Zhang Wenyi almost unable to stand this green leaf.

Everyone knew that the Xie family was a powerful person, but no one expected that Song Guogong in the capital would also have dealings with the Xie family. Song Guogong was born noble and knowledgeable, and was the leading founding minister of the Tang Dynasty, the prime minister who was dismissed and reinstated several times. This girl turned out to be a girl from the Xiao family, and everyone couldn't help but be amazed. And this girl took the initiative to invite, which is definitely the supreme honor for others, the daughter of the Wen family can be calm, and it cannot be said that people are different.

Zhang Wenyi returned to the carriage in a daze. When Xiao Ying was leaving, she specially asked her name, and also said to her that she had the opportunity to come to the capital for a while. It's just that Zhang Wenyi doesn't have her sister's concentration, and she is about to faint with joy. In other words, she herself felt strange, how could she be so unproductive when she had been trained to be able to collapse at the top of Mount Tai without changing her color, and it seemed that returning to the essence of women was not a particularly good thing.

Yuan Niang just looked at this sister who was still smirking with a soft gaze, in fact, Jiu'er performed really well today. Although she was ignored by people because of her age, Yuan Niang believes that one day she will be as radiant as she is today.

When I arrived at the door, I saw several carriages parked at the door and the guards waiting near the carriages, and it could be seen that these carriages were all specifications that could only be used by nobles, and those guards were obviously elite warriors. Everyone's hearts sank, especially the eldest brother Wen Shijun, the second brother Wen Shilian and Yuan Niang glanced at each other. After entering the gate, there are also guards from outsiders patrolling the house, and as the masters, they have to make a detour in their own homes.

Zhang Wenyi deeply felt the division of classes in ancient times and the humiliation of civilians, and she looked at the guards who were patrolling with hatred.

Yuan Niang walked past them with her sisters calmly, and the guards greeted the two girls who were the only ones who were not afraid of them. What they looked at Yuan Niang was respect, but what they looked at Zhang Wenyi was a smile that wanted to pinch her face.

Isn't your gaze sharp enough? Just now, Chunhua and Ah Xiu were stupidly stared, how could it be ineffective against these guys! Zhang Wenyi thought depressedly as she walked.

If Zhang Wenyi knew that these guards were all soldiers of a hundred battles, her mind would have changed.

In the hall of the Wen Mansion, the four old men who were drinking in the water pavilion were all there, and the oldest old man was sitting on the main seat, and the master Wen Zheng could only accompany him in the last seat on the side.

"It's our honor that Guogong can take a fancy to the little girl of the Han family, but our Wen family is just a businessman, I'm afraid we will live up to the wrong love of Lord Guogong."

The older man sitting on the main seat squinted at Wen Zheng for a long time, Wen Zheng thought that he had seen a lot of strong winds and waves, but the invisible pressure that the old man gave him made him almost breathless. Wen Zheng straightened his waist, because he felt that if he didn't hurry up, he would be crushed by the old man's gaze in a few moments.

"Ling Ai is indeed very good, even beyond my expectations. Of course I know what you think, such a child does have the strength to enter the harem. ”

The old man finally spoke, and as soon as he spoke, the invisible pressure disappeared, and Wen Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But the old man's words beat Wen Zheng like thunder. Yuan Niang is planning to participate in the selection of concubines in the harem next year, which is a secret, a very, very secret secret. Except for a limited number of people, no one knows anymore, but how does the old man know?

"Is the child who entered the harem because of her excellence? Why do you think that Ling Ai can enter the palace smoothly? As you said, your Wen family is just a businessman, and with your background, what will happen to your children after they enter the harem? ”

The old man didn't give Wen Zheng a chance to breathe, but one question after another smashed into Wen Zheng like a cannonball, and Wen Zheng's psychological defense, which he thought was impregnable, collapsed under the old man's short words.

Sweat trickled down Wen Zheng's forehead, he raised his head to look at the old man and muttered, "Old Guogong, then why did they choose Yuan Niang?" ”

"That's because she's good enough and you're conceited enough." The old man replied to him without thinking.

Wen Zheng asked again: "The question that Lao Guogong ......" wanted to ask When he saw the head of the Xie family, he couldn't ask anymore. Wen Zheng suddenly understood the reason.

The old man said his question: "You want to ask why I want to help you." I'm telling you because of your grandfather Wen Xingzhong, and when he died in my arms, I promised to take care of your Wen family. Today, we are here to give you a sincerity first, and a reason to give you second. ”

Wen Zheng said dejectedly: "What should I do according to the old man's intentions?" ”

The old man said: "Without further ado, the marriage letter and the matter of the next hire are borne by the staff, and I have already brought the Geng post of my family Huaiyu." I stayed in Chuzhou for three days, and after three days I took the child away. ”

Wen Zheng asked unexpectedly, "So fast?" ”

The old man said gloomily: "The night is long and there are many dreams, and the way to Jingshi is far away, I am afraid that there will be an accident on the road." ”

Wen Zheng exclaimed: "Is the old Guogong so difficult? ”

The old man glanced at him and said: "Some people are crazy who knows what they will do, I don't care if I live or die with an old bone, the key is that the child doesn't have three long and two short." Three days is the limit of what I can control, and after three days I am not sure. There are many things you can't see, so you don't understand them at all. If you're willing to listen to us, then we can still protect you, otherwise we won't be able to rescue you just like your father. It was a fluke that the Wen family was able to survive last time, and you don't expect such luck to be there again the second time. ”

Wen Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "Everything is at the behest of the old man." ”

The old man nodded and said, "Very good, it means that I didn't look at the wrong person." ”
